In the northeast region of Colombia, in Quinchía, Risaralda, there is a dazzling hill, perfect for a hiking adventure. So get ready for this private trip to the summit of Cerro Batero. And live an unforgettable experience with one of our expert guides!
The main hiking path begins at the kilometer 5 of the Panamerican highway from Quinchía. Thereon it descends to an unpaved road that leads to the Batero community. It is here where we will find this majestic hill, home of ancestral myths and stories.
Legend goes that the summit of Cerro Batero was the home of the Xixaraca deidity, the last indigenous chief of the Currumíes. Thus, only the shamans were worthy of reaching its highest point.
The trek is highly demanding. After traversing a thick forest and climbing steep rocks and iron stairs, a three hour ascent awaits. Therefore, it is recommended to avoid climbing during the rainy season. And it is important to follow all the instructions of one of our certified guides.
From various climbing points, and especially from the summit, we’ll be able to enjoy the sceneries of Ventanas Magicas. This stunning cascades are a spectacle you cannot miss.
This hiking trip, more than a sport activity, is a true adventure to reconnect with with nature. Standing at the top of Cerro Batero will be a great reward for all your effort, with a mesmerizing 360° view of the whole area.

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
